Adult only restaurant

[PaulaSB12]

I know disneyworld is full of children, and am am sure that the children of every disboard member is full of charm whit and impecable behaviour. Other children I am not to sure about but even considering that how many would like just ONE restaurant that was over 21s only? Some where for the honeymooners the empty nesters and the singles to get away from small fry for a few minutes? I am not impllying or asking that children be hiden away and I dont dislike them (though that darling little girl who kicked me could have done with a tanned backside) but just one restaurant for us adults wouldn't harm the little darlings!!!!

I don't think you will find many children at Victoria & Albert's.

Otherwise, I think you are pretty much out of luck.

While kids are not excluded from it, Bistro de Paris (upstairs in the French pavillion at EPCOT) is pretty much an adult restaurant.

How about someplace at Pleasure Island? You have to be 21 to get in there.

We are adults only also. We like being around all of the kids (it is Disney after all and overall I'd say that I've seen the worst behavior from adults!) but we have found that the following places generally have few to no children eating there: Victoria & Alberts, Bistro De Paris, JIKO, Wolfgang Puck Upstairs. We always pick one of these for our last night just because it gives us a chance to relax in a quieter environment.

I have two such little darlings and I would love to see an adults only place to dine. Those nights when your paying big$$$ for someone to watch the kids - it would be nice not to eat with someone else's kids!
The other posters, I believe are correct iin that there are places where you find children much less often. But of course, on you one big grown up night, someone will have decided to bring their unhappy 3 year old!

I remember a hot thread here a long time ago when someone wanted to bring her months old infant to V&A's at the Chef's Table, no less. No amount of comments here could convince her to have the baby stay elsewhere!

I like the suggestions the PP gave you, but there are no guarantees - even at
V & A's . There are many WDW restaurants - CG comes to mind, I've cancelled ADR's there twice! - where I will not personally bring DS. Though he's cruised many times and handles himself well at the likes of Yachtsman, Le Cellier, etc -I would never want his loud voice to disturb anyone trying to enjoy a quiet, peaceful, romantic(?) - dinner.

Others feel that it's okay for their toddlers to be running amuck anywhere at all. But no one thinks they have a toddler or school aged kid like that!!! And you're absolutely right - ALL Dis'er's have PERFECT children!!!!

I think this is a good idea. Although, we have a teenager & wouldn't be taking advantage of it for a few years. He's a foodie, & wouldn't be happy with mom & dad, if we ate a nice meal w/o him.

If they do open an adult only restaurant, I think they should limit party sizes. Our family enjoys a relaxed atmosphere, where we can spend quality time talking over dinner. We've actually had our 15 year old ask to leave a restaurant, because a group of adults were being so loud & obnoxious.

Our first stay the grandparents came along and gave us a night ALONE..we had ADR's at Olivia's and there were no children in sight. It was WONDERFUL!!! As a matter of fact it was just us and two other couples in the whole restaurant. It was a very nice meal. I am sure kids do dine there but luckily not that night. I needed PEACE!!! lol

Shulas Steakhouse at Swan/Dolphin we did not see any children, and only ate there because we did not have our kids with us.

How about someplace at Pleasure Island? You have to be 21 to get in there.

I think that only a couple clubs are 21 and older. I took my 9 and 14 year old to Pleasure Island last month. We walked around and ate at Raglan Road.

There are several options where you can experience virtually kid free dining. I think it is highly improbable that Disney would ever have an adults only restaurant. It would violate one of Walt’s principles in creating the place. It’s supposed to be a place for families to play together.

I think it would be nice, but I can’t see it happening.

 

[disneyholic family]

it's not a restaurant, but i think you have to be 21 to get into jelly rolls...

 

[Tricia1972]

When we went to Victoria and Alberts in April there were two (well behaved). but two children there. I couldn't believe that the parents were paying that price for two kids (who were so bored and tired they fell asleep) and the mom or dad couldn't concentrate on eating because they were each cradling a sleeping toddler.

Consider Todd English's BlueZoo (in the Swan or Dolphin)

That is correct.

That too is correct. I've often seen strollers around PI.

Other children in restaurants don't bother me. I only notice when my own are acting up because I have to deal with them. I don't care what others do.

For the best odds, pick the higher-priced places that don't take DDP:
. . . Victoria & Albert's
. . . Bistro de Paris
. . . Shula's Steak House
. . . Todd English
